Jerry

       Although I'm named for Jerry Garcia -some kind of musician I guess- I'm really not a fan of the music they play here. I mean the front desk is my favorite hanging out spot, a place where I can snooze 20 hours a day. So how to they help me snooze? Well one of them plays some out of tune guy called Bob Dylan all day long. I mean, how many times can I hear him moan 'Like a Rolling Stone' before I go nuts. Then because I'm named after this Garcia guy they wait till all the clients leave and blast a band called the Grateful Dead. Like I want to be gratfully dead when i hear that music. Once in a while though I'm saved because Dr. Mintzer's wife comes in and puts on the soundtrack from "Cats." Now that's my kind of music.

        Ok, there are things I like about living here. The food is good, my litterbox gets cleaned daily. I get really first rate medical care. I get privacy when the office is not opened. There is a downside though. I'm used as a demo pet for showing clients how to give their pets pills or liquids. Actually I get a kick our of that. The doctors here are great at giving medicines but I'm the worst patient. I bite, scratch and generally make Dr. Mintzer with his 25 years of experience look like a freshman in vet school. Ask to look at his scars the next time you're in the office. :-)

        A note to you dogs out there. I'm not stupid. I know which one of you can jump up and reach me on the front desk and which can't so you don't fool me. And remember- I've still got my claws!!

        A note to you cats. This is my territory. Don't think you are going to stay here and don't get out of your carrier and roam around because I don't like it, you hear?

          And yes, I'm as scary in real life as I am in the picture.
